Summary: God I love Family Guy
Review: Now that I am the first reviewer I feel it is appropriate to say that I am happy this show is back on the air. Please, keep up the offensive humour, it plays a good part and was really courageous of Seth to do that.

Keep up the good work

Summary: Compare to Simpsons? *Please!*
Review: While there are certainly some striking similarities between 'Family Guy' and 'Simpsons,' really...there is simply no comparison. Bart, Homer and the gang - who preceded 'Family Guy' by, what...an entire decade? - relish their angst and humor, and the daily family beatings, and that is what has made them a special, welcome sight on our TVs. But this 'Family Guy'...now, here's something that will actually make you laugh!

Banished to late nights, and ultimately, to Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and released onto their own DVD, 'Family Guy' is a step bolder, a step farther, a step into 'Simpson'-free laughter, where the dog drinks but never chases a cat, there is no 'sideshow' to rely on for an occasional laugh, and the flashes to alternate realities are actually funny. Peter Griffan really loves his kids (except for the daughter, whose name he seldom remembers), and there is a bond through them, through all the troubles and problems they face, that makes this defiant, daring show a real treat to watch.

Compare it to the 'Simpsons?' *Please!* Itchy and Scratchy are the only funny things on that show, who, despite this, will never hold their own with a spin-off. 'Family Guy' may be forgotten before the Simpsons, but that is their punishment for taking their humor to this new, daring, truly amusing level.

Summary: Six Stars!!!! Even better now than it was before.
Review: Back when I was in high school a cartoon show starring a fat man and a baby shaped like a football debuted after the Super Bowl (I believe it was Rams vs Falcons).

I didn't find it all that funny at the time and watched a few episodes here and there for the next couple of years. Then it was canceled. I didn't miss it all that much because I wasn't really hooked on it.

But then my roommate got the whole DVD set. Then when I started watching the episodes I couldn't stop laughing. It was so good that we breezed through all the episodes in about 2 weeks and wanted more. Unfortunately, thanks to Peter Chernin and FOX-TV it was cancelled. I don't believe it was due to ratings (because King of the Hill gets horrible ratings and it's still on) but more because of its crude humor that offended the conservative television viewers.

Anyways, after the Simpsons I believe Family Guy was the best animated cartoon series ever made. It is funny, and not in the way you would expect. Young kids perhaps won't get the humor and will find it bland. But older kids and adults won't be able to stop laughing...I guarantee it!

Summary: Family Guy
Review: Ok, so Family Guy is the bomb-diggity. I mean, come on, has there ever been a funnier thing on DVD? I think not. Thus, everyone should experience Family Guy on a regular basis in order to keep their spirits and cynicism high. And to all those up-tight punks who couldn't handle it being on the air, RELAX! CALM DOWN! THE WORLD ISN'T REALLY ENDING!! I PROMISE!

Summary: The best comedy show of all-time. There, I said it.
Review: I've always considered Family Guy to be what The Simpsons should have been. Family Guy works because it never sheds its roots as an offensive show with unique characters that is the king of obscure references. To be honest, I don't get many of the jokes because I didn't watch as much TV as Seth Macfarlane growing up. Regardless, everyone with a pulse can find at least one brutally funny character on the show. Also, the running jokes on the show work amazingly well, something you rarely see in today's era of TV. It is a shame that Fox cancelled this show after only three seasons (especially considering the first season was only 6 episodes). I'm so happy it's coming back thanks to people buying this exceptional DVD.
I encourage everyone who is breathing to pick this up- you will not regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ouch! My sides!
Review: This is one of the few TV shows out there that made me really laugh my ass off. The references, while obscure, still will ring true for all the Gen X'ers out there. Some of my friends refused to watch this little gem, accusing the writers of blatantly copying off of The Simpsons.

"J'accuse!" they would scream, with their withered talons pointing reproachfully.

I say no.

This show was another beast altogether. Peter Griffin has wormed his Catholic way into many an underground heart, and now is the time he should lodge himself into your circulatory system. There he can fester and possibly lay eggs. When they burst forth from your chest, raining your loved ones in blood and sinew, they will be yukking it up with that trademark Peter Griffin laugh, "Hahahahaha!"

Well, you'll see when you buy this collection. You should probably get a tetanus shot first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You dont find this funny, you are a stiff
Review: I dont see how people cannot find this funny. This show makes fun of anyone and anything in pop culture. Yes it DOES rival the simpsons and if you dont see that, open your eyes. The simpsons was funny in its prime but now its running out of steam.

If you dont find this show funny, then just dont watch TV because you lack a sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: funnier then funny
Review: This is the best cartoon i have ever seen. its genuis, its so original i wont even compare it to the simpsons(the only similarity i see is they re both funny cartoons). An example of the extreme laughter you will expirence when u watch this is when peter finds a scroll in a beer bottle to visit a beer factory. He runs home and falls and hits his knee. He sits on the ground for a while going ahhhhh oohhhh. it goes for so long u think the dvd is skippin, then it ends. Does this make any sense, NO. But it sure is funny as hell. Thats the thing with Family Guy they can make jokes out of nothing. Every eposie is funny and absolutley hilarious. They are not afraid to joke about any topics and its a shame it was cut form Fox. I saw many eposides on fox and when i heard it was out on DVD i immedialtey ran out to purcahse it. buy this and support the funniest cartoon ever (and its set in Rhode Island)!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It'll be baaack
